So if they want to be active in your country they need to pay an 'activation tax' or something, that counteracts removing the majority of their profits tax-free from the country.

A swiss plug will go into a German or french socket, a German plug will go into a french socket and visa-versa. A two pin German plug will fit in a swiss socket. There are probably more compatibilities with the EU, but these are off the top of my head.

Also, traveling to a different country within the EU isn't the same as going to a different state in the US, so technically, we are better off in the EU plug wise.

Honestly, if I lived in NY, this post on it's own would make me vote for him.

Of course, I'd have to live in the US too, which I don't, thank some deity.

The average Joe or Jane have no idea about ad blocking possibilities. They think ads are just the normal price you pay for surfing the web.

I have even shown people the difference between their browsing experience and mine, and still they can't be arsed to install an ad-blocker.

But then again, they use tiktok and Instagram and all the other brain-numbing shit out there.

Not a lawyer. By the letter of the law, yes.

They had to jump the fence - presumably the gate was secured - in order to get to the house. Further, they walked around the property looking for the owner. This looks to anyone without more knowledge, very much like trespassing.

Just my 2 cents, I'm not trying to defend or accuse anyone.

I found it easy to follow - much easier than typical graphs.

In about 1968, my dad drove round the roundabout in front of Buckingham Palace so us kids could get a better gander at the palace.

We got pulled over by a Bobby on the third circuit, and I kid you not, his first question was 'What's going on here, then?' We were told if we wanted a better look, we would have to park the car and walk - like everyone else. The answer to the question is 3.

In the British army, getting sent to the quartermasters stores for a long weight (wait).

That is how apes open bananas too.

Not that I'm implying anything of course.

That's not Germans, that's Luxemburgers. Many Germans speak English, some will speak the neighbouring country's language close to the border, but not 5 languages.

When driving don't be nice, be predictable.

Eg.: If you are on the priority road, drive - don't be nice and slow down to let someone in from a side road. That's how you get rear-ended.
